Abstract

We used Northern blot analysis to measure SCG10 mRNA expression in various areas of the monkey cerebral cortex during postnatal development. In all areas, SCG10 mRNA expression was highest immediately after birth, decreased sharply until postnatal day 70 (P70) and then decreased slowly until the adult stage. Expression levels were similar in all areas at all time points during development, including the adult stage. These findings confirm that axonal growth in the monkey cerebral cortex is most vigorous before or during the perinatal period, progresses similarly in all areas until P70, and continues at lower levels during late development.
